I have a similar issue while removing whoopsie within a preseed installation, so whoopsie will be removed before it is started the first time.
$ sudo apt purge whoopsie Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: whoopsie* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y (Reading database ... 227602 files and directories currently installed.) Purging configuration files for whoopsie (0.2.69) ... rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package whoopsie (--purge): installed whoopsie package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: whoopsie E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) As you can see, the post-removal script is missing the whoopsie-id file. After creating the dir and file, the post-removal script runs fine.
